We loved our stay! The house was clean and well taken care of. The sun room in the rain was magical. It was walking distance into Keswick and also to multiple hikes and walks. The host was very responsive and sent helpful neighborhood information beforehand. We would definitely stay here again!

Superb house in a great location.

Cannot recommend this property highly enough. A great location close to the town centre. The house is spotless and very tastefully furnished. It has every amenity you should need including a decent strength WIFI. I would urge to to visit the Pheasant Inn which is a 10 min walk for great food.

Comfortable Home, many happy memories

We so enjoyed our stay at Limepots, and will cherish the time spent here. The house was well taken care of, and was stocked with everything we could need. When we were not spending time outside or exploring Keswick, the kids were well entertained by everything in the toy cupboard. The owner was a pleasure to work with.

Peaceful and relaxing break in the Lakes

Limepots is a lovely house very close to all the facilities of the bustling town of Keswick yet in a quiet central location with a number of walks and country paths right from the doorstep. The rooms are spacious and the conservatory is a real bonus. There's only one bathroom though, otherwise we'd have given it 5 stars! JS; Leicester

Fabulous stay!

We stayed at this property for a long weekend in August. Whilst the weather was a bit of let down, the house didn’t disappoint. It was clean and spacious and was very close to the centre of Keswick. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need to make a meal and more! Elisabeth was the perfect hostess. She provided us with really helpful information prior to our stay and kept in regular contact over the weekend

Outstanding holiday home!

We rented this property for a week in August and honestly didn’t want to leave. It is beautifully decorated and fitted out with everything you need for a home-from-home holiday experience. We loved going back to the house after some fun and challenging walks and having a relaxing bath or steaming hot shower in the gorgeous bathroom. Making dinner in was easy as the kitchen is kitted out with everything you need to cook all your favourite meals. Then relaxing in the cosy living room watching telly while we rested our tired legs. The location is also excellent - easy to access the rest of the Lakes by car and 5 minutes walk into the heart of Keswick. The owner was exceptionally helpful and communication was excellent. I honestly can’t rave about this property enough. We loved staying here.

Excellent Place to Stay in Keswick

This was an amazing place to stay - the house is very well, maintained, clean and in a perfect location. Location wise, it was a 6-7 minute walk into Keswick town centre with all its shops, cafes and amenities, a 2 minute drive from the A66 for easy access. The main supermarket (Booths) was a 6-7 minute walk away, but there was also a small supermarket at the petrol station 1 minute away. Lots of great walks from Keswick and easy access to the rest of the Lake District. Communication from Elisabeth was brilliant - checking with us to make sure we had received the directions and checkin info in advance and then emailed a couple of times during the week to check that everything was in order.. The bedrooms were all of a good size (we only used the double and it was a very comfortable bed), the bathroom with shower above the bath was large, modern and clean. The kitchen was very well equipped (although we ate out most of the time so only used it to prepare the odd light meal!). There are plenty of board games & puzzles to keep children (& adults) entertained in a cupboard in the dining room. One last tip - if the sun is shining in the afternoon, the bench in the front garden is a real sun trap! Were there any negatives to report? Not that I can think of - this is one of the best all-round places we've stayed at - I'm sure anyone staying here will enjoy it as much as we did.

Amazing

This house was AMAZING!!! I definitely recommend it, especially for families. On top of all the normal stuff that you would expect, it has puzzles, games, movies and numerous books for all ages. There was a small ping pong table, perfect for kids as well. The rooms were arranged so that intimate conversation could be had in one room while other people are playing or having quiet time in a different room. There was a HUGE amount of information provided about the house and fun things to do in the area. The house location was right in town, VERY close to grocery stores, including Boothes which is a supermarket. Even though it's close to fun shopping and within walking distance of a beautiful lake, the house was not near heavy traffic that made alot of noise. This was by far one of the best short term rental experiences I have ever had. Well worth the money.

Perfection!

I visited Limepots for a week over October half term with my wife and 2 young children. House is very well located about 5 mins walk from the centre of Keswick (there is also a petrol station and spa opposite the house for the essentials). House is very well appointed with everything you would need. I’m a keen cook and I was very impressed with equipment in the kitchen. Bedrooms excellent and can easily sleep 6. Lots of space in general. Perfectly clean on arrival. Great communication and help from the owner when booking and during our stay. We shall definitely be back. Outstanding!!!

This is the perfect holiday house!

This spacious, clean and attractive house is the perfect base for a holiday in the lakes. The house is within walking distance of the town centre, park and swimming pool whilst also being a fantastic base for walking in the fells. Ample off-street parking and a real log- fire make it hassle free and cosy. The beds were extremely comfortable and the street is very quiet, you’d never know your in a town! The best holiday home we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Thank You

Really lovely house, very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Couldn't ask for more, 5/10 minute amble in to the town centre. We had a fabulous time during our stay and would highly recommend if you are looking for a property in walking distance of Keswick town centre with a cosy, family friendly feel. We will definitely be returning.

Spacious, bright and comfortable house close to Keswick town centre

Fantastic base for exploring the Keswick area. Spacious well equipped house within short walking distance of Keswick town centre. Off street parking. House has everything you require- comfy beds, great shower, well equipped kitchen and plenty of logs for the open fire. A cosy and warm place to return to after a day's walking or exploring the area. Highly recommend the Pheasant Inn but you must book. Will definitely come back next time in Keswick.

Fabulous family home from home: Limepots!

This was our first time staying at Limepots under its new ownership- Elisabeth and Richard have made wonderful, high quality improvements to the property, which we have stayed at many times in previous years. As hosts, we couldn't have asked for more-every detail was carefully thought out, and communicated well before our stay, so 10/10 for customer service. The property is a beautiful home, immaculately clean, well maintained, and very tastefully decorated throughout- the website pictures do not really do it justice. Limepots is a 5 minute flat walk to the centre of Keswick, 2 minutes to the park, and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the town to be peaceful and quiet. There is a drive that easily can park two/ three cars plus a safe garage for storing bikes or equipment you may bring. There is also a private garden, with seating, so that you can relax there if you are lucky enough to get some sunshine. The house is well equipped with everything you may ever need, and more! The new kitchen is fabulous, and the new downstairs bathroom is a definite improvement and saves queueing for the upstairs bathroom! There are lots of little things that make a family holiday that little bit easier- you can literally bring your clothes and walking boots and go! We have stayed here many times, and have lots of friends and family who have stayed after our recommendation- the new improved Limepots is even better! Im sure even the pickiest of guests would find it hard to pick fault here. We love the Lakes, and Keswick has it all, in my opinion-great days out for walking, boat trips, fab foodie places to eat, and lovely pubs to quench your thirst in. The town has a family friendly vibe, and there are loads of lovely shops to browse. We particularly enjoyed Lingholme at the far side of Derwentwater- lovely food, great service and a wonderful setting for morning coffee & cake, or a hearty lunch. A lot of time and money has obviously been spent on Keswick after the terrible floods, and it was obvious the town had recovered and bounced back larger then life. Buy a weekly pass for the Keswick launch, get your walking boots on, enjoy the great outdoors... coming home to a lovely log fire, and a beautiful home from home in Limepots just adds to the pleasure!

Beautiful Holiday Home

We had a wonderful time in Limepots. It was spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to make your stay a home away from home. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen ware of everything you could possibly need. It had a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier etc which was extremely handy. It had two beautiful downstairs rooms. The front had a beautiful lounge with a TV and a beautiful view across to the Church and at the back was a dining room and a sun room which was lovely to sit in and read. Upstairs there was a shower over the bath and lovely bedrooms. The garden was private and had a lovely wooden garden table and seating. At the side of the house there was a driveway. I had fantastic customer service from the owner Elizabeth. She had been in contact with me before, during and after our holiday. I have never had this great a customer service from any holiday I had booked before. We certainly will be booking this home again in the future. I certainly would recommend this home. It is without doubt the best home we have been to. The Lake District in general is so picturesque. It takes your breath away.

Beautiful property in a fab location

My family of 6 had a wonderful stay at Limepots. It has spacious and comfortable bedrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. Our kids enjoyed the games and movies. Being the Lakes, we had a mix of sunshine and showera but enjoyed walks to Cat Bells, Latrigg, Aira Force and Buttermere. We were also fortunate enough to be in the Lakes during the recent meteor shower and loved seeing shooting stars from the front of the house! The house has a great location, just 5 minutes walk from Keswick and it was great to come back to after a day of exploring. All of my family loved staying here and would highly recommend it.

Lovely House with a great central location

We know Keswick very well, and stayed at Limepots as it gave us the perfect location. It is only a 5 minute walk to Keswick town centre, 5 mins from Fitz Park (which is great for the kids), and just enough to be away from the hustle and bustle on busy days. The house was modern, immaculately kept, all the the usual facilities. Great views of the mountains from each bedroom. Overall a great property and location and we loved every minute of our stay and would definately reconmend!!
